WILDFIRE DANGER RATING

EXTREME

Preventing Wildfires

The current extreme fire danger within the province is unprecedented (see here for daily fire ratings). Kamloops Fire Rescue is working in partnership with various departments within the City to assess and, if necessary, adjust our practices to prevent wildfires in areas of risk.

Some mitigation efforts have already been implemented:

Termination of boulevard and right-of-way maintenance (effective August 2)

Air Quality

Kamloops has been experiencing very poor air quality as a result of the wildfires in the region. We encourage residents to monitor the Air Quality Health Index on a daily basis and abide by the advisories issued BC Air Quality. The Interior Health website provides information on how to reduce your exposure to smoke and identify the symptoms of smoke exposure.
